I've ruined three alternators wheeling lately in deep mud/water. The store is replacing this one because warranty but it seems there got to be a better way to prevent this. Can u seal an alternator with spray silicone or buy a waterproof one or what? I'm tired of changing them everytime I get in some deep slop

stay outta deep water seem better no? ...lol...

dont really think you can seal them they need air to stay cool

^^ out of the question

You can make a splash guard under the engine bay to help deflect water and debris, or if you are skilled enough you can relocate the alternator higher on the engine

more lift then ive heard you can move them to where th ac sits but you loose ac

I didn't really think u could seal them either but I'm open for suggestions ....other than stay out of the water lol

Yea....I started to wonder and was afraid a splash guard might make it worse in some situations

Yea....I started to wonder and was afraid a splash guard might make it worse in some situations...really like the idea of relocating but I want AC. We have several 100°+ days in Oklahoma
